Has someone been dippin' into poppa's meth cabinet...?



Jaime Pressly, star of "My Name Is Earl," was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving Wednesday night after a traffic stop in Santa Monica, L.A. Now reports.

The 33-year-old actress -- arrested at 11:36 p.m. and booked around 2:30 a.m. -- was released Thursday morning on $15,000 bail, higher than the typical $5,000 bond.

No accident was involved, police said. Though Pressly's blood-alcohol content was not public, TMZ said bail can be set at $15,000 in DUI cases when the BAC is measured at higher than 0.15. The legal limit is 0.08.

There was a time when Jaime Pressly was on fire. Now is not that time. There are a couple of certainties in life. One, you can never underchick. Meaning, you simply can't be a 7 and date a 5, but that's neither here, nor there. Two, you just can't do meth. Meth makeovers are the worst. If you think alcohol is bad over the course of a lifetime, check out a meth billboard because those will be certain to leave an impression...and those guys do it over a 2 year period. Jaime might blow a .19, but I can assure you, based on that face, meth has been a dietary staple. In fact, one of my cousins bought from her lab last Tuesday...True Story.

There's Blood in my alcohol stream...no seriously.


Marguerite Engle simply must have lost her focus. This South Dakota woman recorded a mind-boggling .708 blood alcohol content after being arrested earlier this month when a state trooper found her passed out behind the wheel of a stolen truck. Unfortunately since her life will soon be over, she could've at least taken solice in the fact that she had the US record, but she passed out too soon and missed it by only a fraction of a percent. You see, despite being nearly nine times over the state's .08 legal limit, she fell just short of the U.S intoxication record. That mark was set last year by an Oregon woman, also found passed out behind the wheel, who registered a .72 BAC. Engle's whopping BAC was measured by a Rapid City Police Department chemist who tested a blood sample drawn from Engle. This isn't Engle's first run in with the law, if the mug shot didn't tell you that. She was arrested earlier this year for assaulting a government employee and being intoxicated and disruptive. Engle was named in a two-count South Dakota Magistrate Court indictment charging her with driving under the influence and driving with a BAC beyond the .08 limit. A traffic ticket issued to Engle notes that she "bonded out-hospitalized". Holy crap! Bonded out-hospitalized? That's bad ass. Considering the body is normally .6 water and her BAC was .708, that creates a physiology problem that I can't even comprehend. These are Wikipedia's symptoms of BAC over .4:

>0.40
Unconsciousness
Death
Breathing
Heart Rate

I'm not a doctor, but i know breathing, death, and heart rate are pretty serious problems. If I ever start competing in drinking contests again like college, Engle's on my team. She's like Frank the Tank.
